ProtectingThe Healy Law Office protects the rights of those injured on the road, whether they are pedestrians, riders or drivers. Riders, whether they be on a motorcycle, scooter or bicycle, and pedestrians, are uniquely vulnerable as they share the way with larger, heavier vehicles. While we all share the road, we don't always share in the consequences: what is a minor collision for a driver can be a catastrophic collision to the rider or pedestrian.

﻿UnderstandingMatt is an avid bicycle and motorcycle rider. He is also an automobile enthusiast. Prior to law school, he operated heavy road construction equipment as a union operating engineer. Matt understands serious the safety concerns when sharing the road or trail.

Commercial TrucksRiders and drivers are highly vulnerable in collisions with semi-trucks. Federal and state laws impose additional requirements on commercial interstate truckers in order to increase the safety on our highways. For example, truck drivers have limits on the hours they can drive in a day, in order to prevent fatigued driving. When truckers fail to obey these safety rules, out of carelessness or out of an incentive to get to the destination more quickly, they risk significant harm to others on the road. Matt is experienced in holding careless drivers and their employers accountable for their negligence.

Distracted DrivingTexting while driving is a serious problem on America's roads. At any given time across America, approximately 660,000 drivers are using cell phones or manipulating electronic devices while driving, a number that has held steady since 2010. As a result, thousands of people die every year in crashes related to distracted driving. Distracted driving is any activity that could divert a driver's attention away from the primary task of driving. Any distraction increases the risk of harm to the driver, passenger, and others' safety. The Healy Law Office is skilled and experienced at uncovering a careless driver's behavior and holding them accountable to the people they have injured.
